This gets to the quick of one half of the matter, and in another post you acknowledge the other half too -- the incentive that exists for healthy people to "game the system" (whether it be to get access to stimulants, or "just" sympathy).
I agree with almost everything you've written here, and have the same sympathies, except that I don't think it's legitimate to criticise the style of argument you criticise just because it's often used to subtly question whether people are "actually" suffering (and I agree that it is often used that way).
